Constructor Detail

DataElement

public DataElement()

Method Detail

isUnique

public boolean isUnique()

A unique property does not allow duplicated values.

setUnique

public void setUnique(boolean unique)

setPosition

public void setPosition(Integer position)

getPosition

public Integer getPosition()

isDerived

public boolean isDerived()

A data element that is derived requires some computation before it can be determined. A client that wants to copy data around without generating unnecessary computations can safely skip derived properties.

Returns:

isEditable

public boolean isEditable()

A property is editable if its value can be updated any time after the instance is created.

isInitializable

public boolean isInitializable()

A property is initializable if it can be assigned at instance creation time.

setDerived

public void setDerived(boolean derived)

setEditable

public void setEditable(boolean editable)

setInitializable

public void setInitializable(boolean initializable)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class NamedElement<DataScope>

isMnemonic

public boolean isMnemonic()

Is this element a mnemonic, i.e. a piece of data that is used to represent the object is it part of?

setMnemonic

public void setMnemonic(boolean mnemonic)
